Drawobjects

[Sangui]

Hi

I am trying to control the properties of a manual drawn line and I was able to get almost all information but the start bar, end bar, and both start price and end prices i wasnt. Is there any example that can help me to know how to do it?

Thanks

Hello Sangui,

Thanks for opening the thread.

It is possible to loop through all Drawing objects to find a certain drawing object to get its Start Bar, End Bar, Start Price and End Price from the Anchors collection, but keep in mind that these are read-only properties and you will not be able to modify them.

From the help guide section on the DrawObjects collection, there is a loop that demonstrates how you can find various information from manually drawn draw objects. You may consider the following:

 // Loops through the DrawObjects collection
foreach (DrawingTool draw in DrawObjects)
{
	// Finds line objects that are attached globally to all charts of the same instrument
	if (draw is DrawingTools.Line)
	{
	    DrawingTools.Line thisLine = draw as DrawingTools.Line;
	    Print("StartBar: " + thisLine.StartAnchor.SlotIndex + " EndBar: " + thisLine.EndAnchor.SlotIndex + " StartPrice: " + thisLine.StartAnchor.Price + " EndPrice: " + thisLine.EndAnchor.Price);
	}
}

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.
